Client Successes

Driving State-of-the-Art Research Facilities

We represent Boston University and Boston Medical Center in connection with the development of the National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories, to be located in a new building on the Medical Center campus. The NEIDL will perform advanced research to identify vaccines and cures for infectious diseases. We provided advice concerning the National Environmental Policy Act and the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act, as well as other matters.

From Permit to Successful Defense

Our lawyers have provided compliance advice on complex environmental regulatory matters and assisted with obtaining key operating and construction permits for a major waste-to-energy facility and several large landfills in Massachusetts. We also represent these facilities in judicial and administrative proceedings. For example, we recently defended one major landfill against a local effort to shut it down by revoking its site assignment. We have also defended several of these facilities against challenges to their construction, operating and wetlands permits.

New Paths for Transportation

Our lawyers acted as counsel to the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority regarding the development and permitting of the new Greenbush Commuter Rail Line. This project required a host of permits, including variances from the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act, approvals from several conservation commissions, a variety of licenses issued by the DEP under Chapter 91, approval by the Army Corps of Engineers, MEPA approvals, approvals under the Massachusetts Endangered Species Act, a Coastal Zone Management Consistency finding and others.
